During the most recent episode of Arrow, The CW aired a promo for the Elseworlds event and it was very blatantly about Gotham City and the Bats that fly within it. Characters argue over the very existence of the Batman in a voice over, set to footage of some sort of prison break happening at Arkham Asylum. A brief shot of someone resembling the Joker and a laugh to match flickers on the screen, another shot reveals the Bat-signal being ushered back into service. All the while, a shadowy figure moves about Gotham. Finally two men spot Batwoman arriving on scene and usher in agreement- this isn’t Batman.

Check out this promo for Elseworlds right here:

As far as typical television shows and the commercials used to advertise them go, this was a rather impressive promo. It would have been nice to hear Rose actually say a line or two in character, but the cryptic approach definitely fits with the family of the Dark Knight.

What did you think of the promo? Are you excited to see Rose’s portrayal of Batwoman on the small screen? Be sure to join the conversation down below!

Revenge of the Fans is a nerd-leaning news, analysis, and enjoyment project. The site was started in early 2018, in the dark days before anyone on the Internet had anything to say about comic book movies or pop culture. The site was the idea of Mario Francisco Robles, a man with his finger on the pulse of the comic book movie industry, and Jon, a person who we aren’t completely sure isn’t a figment of Mario’s imagination.
